authorization. Any modifications may void the warranty. This machine was designed to perform a 

specific job and alterations may result in injury to operator or machine.

WARNING

Wear close-fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Loose fitting clothing may

WARNING 

- Hydraulic fluid under pressure can be hazardous. 

 

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the 

hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Keep hands and body away from 

pinholes and nozzles, which eject fluid under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard to search for 

leaks. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately and inform them of the nature of the accident.

CAUTION

Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles and hard toe protection.
